Whilst doing about 60mph on my Kawasaki Eliminator 125 yesterday, the following happened:
Felt as if I'd full taken off the throttle, put it back on, taken it off completely again.
Then, it revved loads and loads as if it were in neutral.
I pulled over and the engine cut out at about 30mph as I was slowing down. It took about 5 minutes to start again. I checked around the bike, and there was nothing obviously wrong with it. No leaking, no loose chain etc. It has enough oil too.
Any ideas what this could be? It's been tempremental lately anyway - it cuts out under breaking sometimes (usually in the cold, but sometimes in warmer weather too) and the chain keeps getting slack and needing tightening. It also had an oil leak 5 times in the space of a month, but that's not leaked for about a month.
Oh, it hadn't been ridden for about two weeks, and then I started riding it again beginning of last week. It ran, but smelled of burning a bit. I wasn't sure what it was, but it was running fine so thought nothin gof it...
